Cool start, steady finish

Runners will face a temperature rise from 52°F at the start to 63°F by the finish. With light winds from the NW, the crosswinds in the first 10 miles may slightly challenge pacing, while tailwinds in Mile 11 and 27 will provide opportunities for speed. Humidity at 66% suggests a need for hydration, especially over the rolling terrain where the temperature begins to rise.
